  • 普縉集團：下半年住宅交投料轉審慎 剛性需求撐中小型物業平穩向好

    香港 – Media OutReach Newswire – 2026年7月3日 – 本地華資測量師行普縉集團發表《2026年第二季香港地產市場分析》報告，指出儘管2026年上半年環球政局動盪、金融市場波動，香港經濟仍保持穩定增長，受惠於外圍及本地需求增加，以及政府積極推動創新產業和吸引人才，本港樓市表現尤為亮眼，一手及二手市場交投同步重拾活躍，帶動整體樓價止跌回升，住宅租金更已攀升至歷史高位水平。展望下半年，該行預期受多項不確定因素影響，住宅交投氣氛將轉趨審慎，但在人才計劃等剛需支持下，中小型住宅的售價及租金仍有望維持平穩向好。

    剛需強勁樓市量價齊升 豪宅物業續受資金青睞
    據土地註冊處數據，2026年首5個月整體住宅物業共錄得33,160宗成交，按年上升約44%，總成交金額更按年急升約72%。其中，一手市場在多個新盤持續出現即日沽清及大手買家入市帶動下，首5個月成交達10,556宗，較去年同期的7,187宗上升約47%，涉及金額約1,202億元，按年大增近98%。二手市場成交量及金額亦見同步轉趨活躍，分別按年上升43%及58%。樓價與租金同樣向好，今年5月份整體住宅售價已較去年底上升約7.4%，租金則上升1.8%。

    普縉認為，展望下半年，雖然港股偏軟及發展商開價轉趨進取，令市場整體氣氛轉趨審慎，但受惠於大專學位持續增加及各項人才計劃支持，中小型住宅的整體售價及租金預期仍能維持平穩向好。豪宅市場方面，內地買家比例持續上升，5,000萬元以上的豪宅成交已佔市場約三分之二份額。即使國務院於今年6月發布新規收緊內地居民對外投資限制，或為跨境資金帶來短期不確定性，但本港豪宅物業依然備受內地資金青睞，多個豪宅項目呎價更刷新近年高位，預期高端貴重物業後市在稀缺性下仍具支持。

    工商舖跌幅收窄 核心甲廈與體驗式商舖展現韌性
    至於工商舖市場於上半年已明確回穩，首4個月寫字樓、工廈及商舖價格跌幅較去年顯著收窄，寫字樓租金更逆市微升0.1%。其中，雖然甲廈整體空置率仍高企，但核心區甲廈租金已較去年底回升4.2%，主要受惠於證券及財富管理等金融企業持續擴張，預期核心區空置率將見頂回落。商舖市場則步入結構性轉型，傳統零售逐漸演變成「體驗式據點」，如內地電商於灣仔進駐3萬呎體驗旗艦店即成功引流，反映品牌效應與現場體驗能有效提振實體舖價值，知名機構進駐民生非核心區亦有望改善局部空置情況。

    至於工廈市場則面臨結構性轉變，現時本港約有八成工廈樓齡達45年或以上，舊式工廈重建步伐因市況近乎停頓。配合政府五年規劃將創科列為重點，普縉認為在市區成熟配套下提供現代工業及數據中心樓面更具效率，因此建議當局應積極考慮設立針對優化工廈重建的強拍及程序，加快傳統工業區更新，為本港新型工業化提供更堅實基礎。

    The event was officially supported by Malaysia’s Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI). Deputy Secretary-General (Technology Development) Puan Norsham binti Abdul Latip attended the event and delivered a keynote address, noting that Malaysia is actively supporting innovation in the local digital content industry. She stated that the launch of Omirol, as Southeast Asia’s first native AIGC creation ecosystem platform, demonstrates Malaysia’s leading position in technological innovation in the region. By integrating mature international industrial resources to support the rapid development of local enterprises, technologies and talent, Omirol is highly aligned with Malaysia’s strategic direction in advancing artificial intelligence, the digital economy and the cultural and creative industries, while also offering a new practical pathway for deepening China–Malaysia digital economy cooperation. The event brought together nearly 300 guests, including representatives from BytePlus Malaysia, Vision Tech Singapore, IBM Malaysia, TusStar Malaysia, Telekom Malaysia, Xiamen Airlines, xFusion Technologies Malaysia, Solution Group, China Mobile Malaysia and the Chinese Film Association of Malaysia, etc.

    Strategic Partnerships to Build a Regional AIGC Ecosystem

    One of the forum’s major highlights was the signing of strategic cooperation agreements between Omirol AI and six organizations, including the Southeast Asia Research Center for Humanities(SEARCH), TAR UMT (Tunku Abdul Rahman University of Management and Technology), the animated feature film “Nanyang Volunteers”, ZIVO AI and Do Drama. The collaborations cover AI education, content marketing, production, distribution, and ecosystem development.

    Among them, the strategic partnership with China’s V-Valley – Malanshan Video Cultural & Creative Industrial Park marked the most significant milestone. Ms. Zhou Jing, Vice Chairman of the Malanshan Global Expansion Alliance and Chairman of Fuhui Media Group, attended the forum in Kuala Lumpur to deliver a keynote speech and sign the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). The agreement officially establishes a long-term strategic partnership between China’s national-level digital cultural industry cluster and Southeast Asia’s first native AIGC ecosystem platform. Both parties will collaborate across digital content creation, AI talent development, industrial resource sharing, and international cultural exchange to accelerate the coordinated development of the China–Malaysia digital creative industry.

    Building an Open and Sustainable AI Ecosystem

    During her keynote speech, Ms. Zhou Jing noted that Malanshan has rapidly evolved from a leading video content industrial park into one of China’s most important hubs for the integration of digital content and artificial intelligence. The recently established Malanshan Global Expansion Alliance brings together over 30 leading Chinese organizations, including Mango TV, Central South Publishing & Media Group, Hunan International Channel, CBG Tianze, AI technology companies, and international communication institutions, forming a comprehensive ecosystem covering content production, AI technologies, international distribution, and cross-border services. She emphasized that the future competition in AI will not simply be about who owns the most advanced technology, but about who can build an open, collaborative, and sustainable industry ecosystem. With a population exceeding 700 million and rich cultural diversity, Southeast Asia represents one of the world’s fastest-growing digital content markets and an important strategic destination for China’s cultural and creative industries.

    Six Key Areas of Collaboration

    According to the signed Memorandum of Understanding, Omirol AI and Malanshan will jointly promote practical cooperation across six major initiatives:

    1. China–Malaysia AIGC Joint Training Academy
      Develop AI filmmaking and digital content creation programs with Malaysian universities such as TAR UMT by leveraging Malanshan’s educational resources and industry expertise.
    2. Cross-border Licensed IP Resource Library
      Establish a shared IP ecosystem covering film, animation, tourism, cultural heritage, and digital assets to support AI-generated short dramas, animation, and creative productions.
    3. Technology Integration and AI Infrastructure
      Connect leading Chinese AIGC technologies with the Omirol AI platform, enabling collaboration in computing power, AI models, and content generation technologies to improve production efficiency.
    4. Global Content Distribution Network
      Expand international distribution channels for original Omirol AI content while supporting the localization and commercialization of premium Chinese digital content across Southeast Asia.
    5. China–Malaysia AI Short Drama Competition
      Jointly organize an international AI short drama competition, accompanied by incubation programs and funding initiatives to cultivate globally competitive Southeast Asian IP.
    6. Industry Collaboration & Investment Platform
      Establish regular China–Malaysia AI industry matchmaking events to promote technology exchange, global AIGC OPC community, project collaboration, and cross-border investment between enterprises from both countries.

    Omirol AI: Building Southeast Asia’s Native AIGC Creaation Ecosystem

    Speaking at the signing ceremony, Ms. Joyin He Jiaying, Founder and CEO of Omirol AI, said:

    “Omirol is built to be the infrastructure of Southeast Asia. Our vision goes beyond providing AI tools—we aim to build an open ecosystem connecting creators, universities, enterprises, and industry resources, empowering Southeast Asia to become one of the world’s leading hubs for digital content innovation.” She added that Omirol AI has already integrated with China’s ‘LaiShu Processing’ pilot infrastructure in Shantou and is exploring collaboration with Inspur Information (Shantou) to significantly reduce token costs for Southeast Asian users.

    Combined with the joint China–Malaysia technical team established together with FSBM and Malanshan’s mature AIGC industry resources, Omirol AI aims to deliver a fully localized, one-stop

    AIGC ecosystem tailored to creators, businesses, and educational institutions across Southeast Asia.

    A New Model for Cross-border AI Industry Collaboration

    As the global AIGC industry shifts from competition in individual technologies to competition between complete ecosystems, integrated capabilities in AI platforms, content creation, IP commercialization, talent cultivation, and international distribution are becoming the key drivers of long-term competitiveness. Industry observers believe this partnership represents more than a business collaboration—it marks the first systematic integration of China’s mature digital content industry with Southeast Asia’s emerging AI innovation ecosystem. By combining technology, content, talent, and industrial collaboration, China and Malaysia are jointly pioneering a scalable model for international AIGC cooperation that could become a benchmark for the future development of Southeast Asia’s digital creative economy.

  • Lawnova Returns to spoga+gafa with Second-Generation Robotic Mower Built for AI Boundary Setup-Free Navigation

    COLOGNE, GERMANY – Media OutReach Newswire – 3 July 2026 – As spoga+gafa opens its doors in Cologne, Yosemite Robotics is returning to Europe with Lawnova, its own robotic mower brand, and a second-generation lineup designed to move the category beyond wire-free mowing toward boundary setup-free outdoor automation.

    Powered by Yosemite Robotics’ NovaMind 3.0 platform, Lawnova uses AI vision, AI reasoning, and autonomous lawn mapping to help identify lawn boundaries, understand complex garden environments, and reduce the manual setup traditionally required through app-based configuration. Its four-series portfolio — S, X, P, and G — spans entry-level residential mowing, all-terrain residential use, commercial landscaping, and golf-course applications.

    The commercial case for robotic mowing is strengthening. Europe’s landscaping sector is facing structural workforce pressure, while EU emissions rules and sustainability-driven procurement trends are supporting the shift toward lower-emission and battery-powered outdoor equipment. According to Mordor Intelligence, the European robotic lawn mower market is projected to reach USD 635.8 million in 2026, growing at a 7.32% CAGR through 2031.

    With more than 15 years of accumulated AI and robotics expertise and over five years of formal robotic mower R&D, Yosemite Robotics has built its platform around AI-powered perception, high-precision positioning, and multi-sensor fusion. The X Series combines RTK positioning, LiDAR, IMU, and computer vision with an NVIDIA Orin computing platform delivering 40–67 TOPS. According to the company’s technology roadmap, the platform supports 2–3 cm positioning accuracy, object and boundary recognition, autonomous mapping, and path planning.

    The company is also developing natural language interaction capabilities, allowing operators to issue task-based commands such as “mow the backyard but avoid the flower beds.” According to Yosemite Robotics’ technology roadmap, the system combines cloud-based model support with local inference, enabling certain decisions to be processed on-device, including in offline environments. CEO Jack Li describes the longer-term direction as embodied intelligence — machines that can perceive outdoor environments, understand user intent, and move beyond simply following pre-programmed paths.

    For European distributors and industry buyers, Lawnova’s return to spoga+gafa signals a broader shift: AI-powered outdoor robotics is moving from early automation toward more intelligent, adaptive lawn-care platforms.

  • Kara Capital leads Japanese consortium into $454 million World Square Office Acquisition

    SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 3 July 2026 – Kara Capital is pleased to announce that it has successfully advised a consortium of Japanese corporate investors in connection with the acquisition of an interest in Sydney’s landmark World Square office complex.

    Caption

    The acquisition of a 50% interest in A-Grade Sydney CBD office buildings located at 680 George Street and 50 Goulburn Street will be secured at a 60% discount to estimated replacement cost and provides a capitalisation rate of 7.5%. In our opinion, the entry price gives us confidence that we are acquiring the asset at a compelling valuation – creating the downside protection we seek in every investment opportunity.

    The prime Sydney CBD office assets are integrated within the World Square mixed-use precinct providing 67,700 sqm of NLA across 45 levels with 93.4% occupancy. Anchor tenants include NSW Government departments and other national and multinational occupiers.

    The Midtown precinct continues to benefit from improved connectivity through Sydney Metro and light rail infrastructure, while limited future office supply supports long-term fundamentals.

    The acquisition reflects the growing appetite of Japanese corporate investors for Australian office opportunities, driven by views that valuations in Sydney and Brisbane have largely stabilized and near cyclical lows.

    Nazmi Camalxaman, Managing Director of Kara Capital, said:

    “For Japanese corporate investors, one of the greatest challenges of investing overseas is the information gap. In every market, there are intermediaries who profit from that gap and there are those whose purpose is to close it.

    We believe investors make better decisions when they have better information.

    That is why we are committed to educating our clients as much as we can and providing as much help as we can so that they can make a fully informed investment decision.

    Our mission is to be an honest, transparent, patient and trusted deal sourcing partner for Japanese corporate investors — connecting them with best in class managers and highly selective deals so they can invest in Australia with confidence.”

    Montfort Boys Town also remains committed to ensuring that quality skills education is accessible to learners from diverse backgrounds, including neurodivergent individuals.

    Among this year’s graduates was Aaron Barare Kumar, who was diagnosed with autism at the age of five and was selected to deliver the graduates’ address during the ceremony. Aaron also received awards for Good Discipline, Outstanding Improvement, and Special Service in recognition of his dedication and personal development throughout his studies.

    His achievements highlight the role of inclusive TVET pathways in enabling high-functioning neurodivergent learners to develop practical skills, gain confidence, and pursue sustainable career opportunities.

    Aaron Barare Kumar encouraged younger students to remain resilient in the face of challenges, emphasising that setbacks and personal struggles should never be seen as reasons to give up. He shared that success comes from perseverance, self-belief, and a willingness to keep moving forward despite difficulties. Aaron advised his juniors to “continue working hard, trust in their abilities, and remain committed to achieving their goals.”

    As part of its ongoing commitment to inclusive education, Montfort Boys Town is exploring the introduction of specialised programmes tailored for high-functioning neurodivergent students to expand access to vocational training and employment opportunities.

    The institution is also planning to upgrade its existing SKM Level 2 programmes to SKM Level 3 and introduce SKM certification for its Graphic Design and Multimedia programme, further strengthening its training offerings and enhancing career progression opportunities for future students.

    The ceremony also featured the presentation of the Eva Gomez Endowment Fund Award, with Risyaah A/P Palanivelu receiving RM1,000 in recognition of her perseverance and commitment throughout her studies.

    As demand for skilled talent continues to grow across industries, Montfort Boys Town remains dedicated to developing a future-ready workforce through quality vocational education while ensuring that opportunities remain accessible to all learners.

    Bora Pharmaceuticals Completes Acquisition of MacroGenics’ Rockville Manufacturing Operations

    Transaction Valued at $122.5M Establishes 20,000-Liter US Biologics Drug Substance Manufacturing Platform, Covering Development through Commercial Supply

    TAIPEI, TAIWAN – Media OutReach Newswire – 2 July 2026 – Bora Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. (“Bora” or “Bora Group”; TWSE: 6472; OTCQX: BORAY) today announced the completion of its acquisition of the GMP manufacturing operations of MacroGenics, Inc. (NASDAQ: MGNX) including its biologics drug substance facility in Rockville, Maryland and an associated warehousing center in Frederick, Maryland, for total consideration of US $122.5 million through its wholly owned subsidiary Bora Biologics USA, LLC.. Upon closing, Bora signed a long-term CDMO Service Agreement with MacroGenics.

    With the close of the transaction, Bora Group’s biologics CDMO franchise, Bora Biologics, now operates 20,000 liters of single-use bioreactor (SUB) drug substance manufacturing capacity across two active US sites: Rockville, Maryland and San Diego, California, and one development facility in Zhubei, Taiwan.

    “This acquisition establishes a US biologics manufacturing platform that sponsors can depend on, from development through licensed commercial supply,” said Bobby Sheng, Chairman and CEO of Bora Group. “As regulatory and supply chain dynamics continue to evolve, we expect biotech and pharmaceutical companies to increasingly seek manufacturing partners with US-based, inspection-proven infrastructure. Bora Biologics is designed to meet that need, offering a fully integrated, end-to-end biologics platform spanning drug substance and drug product capabilities.”

  • Forest City SFZ Highlights Early JS-SEZ Traction as Investment Pipeline Expands

    Forest City SFZ Highlights Early JS-SEZ Traction as Investment Pipeline Expands

    Singapore-based companies have committed more than S$5.5 billion in Johor since the JS-SEZ memorandum of understanding, while IMFC-J reported 1,000 enquiries linked to RM73 billion in potential investment in March 2026.

    JOHOR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 2 July 2026 – Forest City Special Financial Zone (Forest City SFZ) today issued a progress update on the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ), pointing to early implementation milestones in investment facilitation, financial-services incentives and cross-border connectivity.

    Forest City, Johor
    Forest City, Johor

    The JS-SEZ agreement, signed on 7 January 2025, covers approximately 3,588 square kilometres across southern Johor. It comprises nine flagship areas and targets investment in 11 sectors, including manufacturing, logistics, financial services, the digital economy, tourism, education, healthcare and the green economy. Forest City is the designated financial-services flagship within the framework.

    “The JS-SEZ has moved beyond framework design and into early-stage execution. Forest City has a defined role in financial services and family-office activity, while the wider zone is building a pipeline across multiple industries,” a Forest City SFZ spokesperson said.

    Investment pipeline builds across the JS-SEZ

    Singapore’s Ministry of Trade and Industry said Singapore-based companies had committed more than S$5.5 billion in investments into Johor since the JS-SEZ memorandum of understanding was signed in January 2024. The figure was highlighted at the second JS-SEZ Joint Investment Forum in Singapore in October 2025.

    On the Malaysian side, the Invest Malaysia Facilitation Centre Johor (IMFC-J) reported in March 2026 that it had received 1,000 investor enquiries and was facilitating RM73 billion in potential investment.

    IMFC-J is a joint federal-state one-stop centre led by the Iskandar Regional Development Authority, Invest Johor and the Malaysian Investment Development Authority.

    The figures represent investment commitments and potential project value rather than fully realised capital expenditure, but provide an early measure of the commercial pipeline forming around the economic corridor.

    Forest City builds financial-services proposition

    Malaysia announced the Forest City SFZ incentive package in September 2024, followed by the gazettement of the Single Family Office (SFO) tax rules in October 2025. Under the scheme, a qualifying SFO vehicle may receive a 0% tax rate on eligible investment income for an initial 10-year period, with a possible extension for a further 10 years, subject to asset, local investment, staffing and operating-expenditure requirements.

    The initial phase requires at least RM30 million in assets under management. The wider Forest City incentive framework also includes a 5% corporate tax rate for qualifying global-services and selected relocation activities, while eligible knowledge workers in the JS-SEZ may qualify for a 15% personal income tax rate, subject to prevailing rules and approvals.

    According to Forest City data, nine family offices had received approvals under the scheme by June 2026. The Securities Commission Malaysia had previously reported more than 30 expressions of interest and has set a target of RM2 billion in SFO assets under management by the end of 2026.

    Separately, Forest City said 593 applicants were approved for the SFZ category of the Malaysia My Second Home programme between 1 October 2024 and 31 March 2026, indicating demand from investors, professionals and long-stay residents alongside the financial-services push.

    Cross-border measures support the dual-market model

    The JS-SEZ framework is intended to combine Johor’s land, industrial capacity and cost base with Singapore’s capital, connectivity and business ecosystem. Measures under the bilateral framework include investor facilitation, automated immigration channels, paperless goods clearance and improved transport links.

    Singapore has rolled out QR-code immigration clearance across travel modes at the Woodlands and Tuas checkpoints. Travellers should continue to carry their passports, which may still be required for verification and for clearance at the Malaysian border.

    The Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System Link is targeted to begin passenger service by the end of 2026. The four-kilometre line will connect Bukit Chagar and Woodlands North in about five minutes and is designed to carry up to 10,000 passengers per hour in each direction during peak periods.

    Execution and conversion remain the next test

    The World Bank projects Malaysia’s economy to expand by 4.4% in 2026, supported by domestic demand, while warning that trade restrictions, global policy uncertainty and weaker external demand remain downside risks.

    For the JS-SEZ, the next phase will be measured by the conversion of enquiries and commitments into approved projects, realised investment, skilled employment and operating businesses. Delivery of transport, utilities, talent development and regulatory coordination will also determine the pace at which companies adopt a cross-border operating model.

    “The early indicators are encouraging, but the economic impact should be assessed over a multi-year horizon. The priority now is to convert the pipeline into sustainable business activity, jobs and a deeper professional-services ecosystem,” the spokesperson said.

    Forest City SFZ said it will continue working with public agencies, financial institutions and professional-service providers to support family offices, international investors and companies evaluating Johor as part of their regional growth strategy.

    JS-SEZ coverage Approximately 3,588 km²; nine flagship areas; 11 priority sectors

  • 森林城市發佈JS-SEZ早期進展：投資規模持續增長

    森林城市發佈JS-SEZ早期進展：投資規模持續增長

    自JS-SEZ諒解備忘錄簽署以來，新加坡企業已承諾在柔佛投資超過55億新幣; 2026年3月，柔佛馬來西亞投資促進中心（IMFC-J）報告，目前為止已累計接獲1,000項諮詢，涉及730億令吉的潛在投資。

    柔佛，馬來西亞 – Media OutReach Newswire – 2026年7月2日 – 森林城市金融特區（Forest City SFZ）今日就柔佛-新加坡經濟特區（JS-SEZ）發佈進展更新，重點介紹了在投資促進、金融服務激勵措施及跨境互聯互通方面的早期落實里程碑。

    森林城市，柔佛
    森林城市，柔佛

    JS-SEZ協定於2025年1月7日簽署，覆蓋柔佛南部約3,588平方公里，涵蓋九個旗艦區域及11個優先投資領域，包括製造業、物流、金融服務、數字經濟、旅遊、教育、醫療及綠色經濟。 森林城市是框架內指定的金融服務旗艦項目。

    森林城市SFZ發言人表示：「JS-SEZ已從框架設計階段進入早期執行階段。 森林城市在金融服務和家族辦公室業務中承擔清晰的角色，而整個經濟特區正在多個行業構建投資渠道。 」

    JS-SEZ持續建立投資渠道

    新加坡貿易與工業部表示，自2024年1月JS-SEZ諒解備忘錄簽署以來，新加坡企業已承諾在柔佛投資超過55億新幣。 該數據於2025年10月在新加坡舉行的第二屆JS-SEZ聯合投資論壇上被重點提及。

    馬來西亞方面，IMFC-J於2026年3月報告，已接獲1,000項投資者諮詢，並正在協助推進730億令吉的潛在投資。

    IMFC-J是由依斯干達區域發展局、柔佛投資局及馬來西亞投資發展局共同主導的聯邦與州聯合一站式服務中心。

    上述數據反映的是投資承諾和潛在項目價值，而非已落地的實際資本支出。 但它仍為衡量經濟走廊周邊商業活力的早期階段提供了參考指標。

    森林城市構建金融服務定位

    馬來西亞於2024年9月公佈森林城市SFZ激勵配套，隨後於2025年10月頒布單一家族辦公室（SFO）稅務規則。 根據該計劃，符合條件的SFO載體可享有合資格投資收入為期10年的0%稅率，符合資產、本地投資、人員配置及運營支出要求者，可再延長10年。

    初始階段要求最低資產管理規模為3,000萬令吉。 在更廣泛的森林城市激勵框架下，符合條件的全球服務及特定搬遷活動，可享有5%的企業稅率。 同時，JS-SEZ內合資格的知識型工作者，可享有15%的個人所得稅優惠（須符合現行規定及審批）。

    根據森林城市數據，截至2026年6月，已有9個家族辦公室在該計劃下獲得批准。 馬來西亞證券委員會此前曾報告收到超過30份意向書，並設定了到2026年底SFO資產管理規模達到20億令吉的目標。

    此外，森林城市表示，2024年10月1日至2026年3月31日期間，共有593名申請人獲批馬來西亞第二家園計劃SFZ類別，展現出在金融服務發展之外，投資者、專業人士及長期居留人士亦存在相關需求。

    跨境措施支援雙城生活模式

    JS-SEZ框架旨在將柔佛的土地、產業能力及成本基礎，與新加坡的資本、連通性及商業生態系統相結合。 雙邊框架下的措施包括投資者便利化、自動通關通道、電子化貨物清關及改善交通連接等。

    新加坡已在兀蘭和大士關卡推出跨交通方式的二維碼通關系統。 旅客仍需繼續攜帶護照，護照可能用於身份核驗，且馬來西亞一側通關仍需使用。

    新柔捷運系統（RTS Link）計劃於2026年底前投入客運服務。 該線路全長4公里，將連接武吉查卡和兀蘭北站，全程約5分鐘，高峰時段每小時單向可運載1萬名乘客。

    執行與轉化是下一階段關鍵

    世界銀行預計，在國內需求支撐下，馬來西亞2026年經濟將增長4.4%，但同時警告貿易限制、全球政策不確定性及外部需求疲軟仍為下行風險。

    對於JS-SEZ而言，下一階段的衡量標準在於將諮詢與承諾轉化為獲批項目、落地投資、就業崗位及運營企業。 交通、公用事業、人才培養及監管協調的落實，也將決定企業採用跨境運營模式的速度。

    發言人表示：「早期指標令人鼓舞，但經濟影響應以數年為週期來評估。 當前的重點是將既有渠道轉化為可持續的商業活動、就業機會及更深層次的專業服務生態系統。 」

    森林城市SFZ表示，將繼續與公共機構、金融機構及專業服務提供者合作，支援家族辦公室、國際投資者及將柔佛納入其區域增長戰略的企業。

    上述数据反映的是投资承诺和潜在项目价值，而非已落地的实际资本支出。但它仍为衡量经济走廊周边商业活力的早期阶段提供了参考指标。

    森林城市构建金融服务定位

    马来西亚于2024年9月公布森林城市SFZ激励配套，随后于2025年10月颁布单一家族办公室（SFO）税务规则。根据该计划，符合条件的SFO载体可享有合资格投资收入为期10年的0%税率，符合资产、本地投资、人员配置及运营支出要求者，可再延长10年。

    初始阶段要求最低资产管理规模为3,000万令吉。在更广泛的森林城市激励框架下，符合条件的全球服务及特定搬迁活动，可享有5%的企业税率。同时，JS-SEZ内合资格的知识型工作者，可享有15%的个人所得税优惠（须符合现行规定及审批）。

    根据森林城市数据，截至2026年6月，已有9个家族办公室在该计划下获得批准。马来西亚证券委员会此前曾报告收到超过30份意向书，并设定了到2026年底SFO资产管理规模达到20亿令吉的目标。

    执行与转化是下一阶段关键

    世界银行预计，在国内需求支撑下，马来西亚2026年经济将增长4.4%，但同时警告贸易限制、全球政策不确定性及外部需求疲软仍为下行风险。

    对于JS-SEZ而言，下一阶段的衡量标准在于将咨询与承诺转化为获批项目、落地投资、就业岗位及运营企业。交通、公用事业、人才培养及监管协调的落实，也将决定企业采用跨境运营模式的速度。

    发言人表示：”早期指标令人鼓舞，但经济影响应以数年为周期来评估。当前的重点是将既有渠道转化为可持续的商业活动、就业机会及更深层次的专业服务生态系统。”

    森林城市SFZ表示，将继续与公共机构、金融机构及专业服务提供商合作，支持家族办公室、国际投资者及将柔佛纳入其区域增长战略的企业。
